One Night With The Billionaire

Richard sat down and glanced at his Mom. What is wrong, he knows his dad and he can tell when he is not his usual vibrant self. He hadn’t been acting normal after the party the previous day.

“Is there something I don’t know?” Richard asked. He waited a bit because his Mom wasn’t saying anything. Eventually his dad descended the stairs.

“Get me medicine, Richard. I am not feeling well” Jane said. Adrian walked over and asked “what is wrong with you, my love?”

“I feel my heart is palpitating, ” Jane said. Adrian Delmark sighed softly “we will cross this phase together, we will be alright” he assured her.

“I will get you your medicine. But can someone tell me what’s going on here?” Richard asked.

“Something that you also need to know, dearest nephew” Derick declared. He came over and said “Tell him, Richard is an adult and can take it”

“That means everyone knows what is going on except me” Richard declared. Adrian said he should come over to the sitting room.

Jane and Derick didn’t follow. Only Richard and his dad went to the sitting room.

“You have a sister, Richard ” Adrian declared. As if that is not enough he continued “your uncle just told me about her. I have to find her, ” Adrian announced.

Arianna got busy the entire day in the office. She was designing and was able to make a few drafts and had them submitted to Chase’s office.

Stanley and Lily Ambrose tried to peep into her work, but Chase made it impossible. It wasn’t long when the rumours of Arianna Jason and the second master dating each other spread all over the conglomerate.

Arianna and Jace’s relationship remained a secret. Besides Chase, Eduardo and Jace’s bodyguards, no one else knows that Arianna is the boss’ woman.

Two days later, Eduardo walked into Jace’s office and submitted a brown envelope to him. Jace Hudson glared at Eduardo and the latter gave a shrug.

He waved at him to leave. He hoped his guesses were true. He had issued an order to Eduardo to find out if Arianna was related to Senator Adrian Delmark.

He even ordered him to do it quickly, giving him an automaton of two days. And the result of the investigation arrived. He tore it open and saw it’s a DNA report.

His eyes glued to the final interpretation 99. 9…. Jace slammed the report on the desk and sighed softly.

Arianna wants to know her father. Did her father really want to know her? Does he care about her or is eager to find her? Did he even know she’s his daughter?

He asked if he’s met her before. No, he hadn’t met, she had left him, she left his body and that’s why blood calls for blood and he didn’t recognise her as a part of him.

Richard is her brother. No wonder that guy was worried sick about Arianna. At a time, he thought he was dating her, or having a crush on her.

But it’s nothing like that. He was subconsciously looking after his sister. He was watching her as a friend but the impulse is that of a brother. The connection between them is attracting them to each other.

They are both Senator Adrian’s children. He will be quiet and watch. Perhaps Arianna would find a clue, leading her to Senator Adrian.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

When Jace arrived home, Arianna was nowhere to be found. He called George and asked him where his boss was.

George said she hadn’t been out. Jace decided to call her. Arianna answered her phone and told Jace she’s in the guest room, going through her stuff.

Jace understood. Since he wouldn’t Arianna step out of the house to go to the apartment where her things were, he asked his men to bring those belongings and keep them in the guest room

Jace got in and saw Arianna had checked through her mother’s belongings. All she saw were documents of ownership of the house, cars and a huge bank savings.

A folded paper was found and it’s written …if at any time, you found yourself thrown out by your father, Ned Jason. Go to Adrian Delmark, tell him you are my daughter…

He wondered if she truly knew who she was. He saw her differently and nodded quietly to himself, she’s indeed Senator Adrian’s daughter. The slight semblance he saw in her before became ambiguous to him.

“Anything that might help you find your father?” Jace asked, stepping farther into the room and sitting on the sofa before her.

“Nothing. Except that Mom said I should go to Adrian Delmark if ever I was thrown out. Do you think my mom was talking about Senator Adrian?” Arianna asked.

“How am I supposed to know, My love? Let’s find out if there are any other Adrian Delmark in Z-City” Jace replied pretentiously.

“Why won’t my Mom leave me a clue? I don’t know who her friends are, her family or anyone. Besides Ned Jason, I don’t know anyone who knows my mother.

Was she a lone ranger? Doesn’t she have friends or family? No one who might be able to tell me who my father was? How do I know now?” Arianna complained.

She was almost sobbing. She placed the piece of paper down and looked disappointed. Why wouldn’t her Mom leave a clue behind? To have written that note means she knows a day would come when she would need her and she wouldn’t be there.

She turned and glanced at Jace “I don’t know who my people are. Who is my father, who are my family, my relatives, uncle, Aunt, cousins. Who am I?

What’s my true identity? Why am I a tree whose root cannot be traced. I am all alone, am lost, Jace, I am lost” Arianna sniffled. She cleaned her tears, her mood sore.

“You have a family, Arianna. You may not know them as your family, but they already love you. Besides, you have me, you have Eli, you have Richard, Genesis, Chase and you can find parents in my dad and mom.

You have us all, what else do you want? We don’t love you less than your dad would have done. You both will eventually acknowledge each other.

And that day, when you look into his eyes, and he looks at you, you will recognise each other. You will see your face in his face and he will see his blood run through your face. Be patient, the wait will soon be over”Jace Hudson declared with a nod of affirmation.

Arianna smiled through her tears. She nodded, she agreed with Jace. Since she’s interested in it now, it only means that she is closer than she’d ever been.
